2015 LINCOLN MKC fog light

AUTOLAMPS (If Equipped)
WARNING
The daytime running lamps system
does not activate the tail lamps and
may not provide adequate lighting during
low visibility driving conditions. Also, the
autolamps switch position may not activate
the headlamps in all low visibility conditions,
such as daytime fog. Always ensure that your
headlamps are switched to auto or on, as
appropriate, during all low visibility
conditions. Failure to do so may result in a
collision. When the lighting control is in the autolamps
position, the headlamps will automatically
turn on in low light situations or when wipers
activate.
If equipped, the following also activate when
the lighting control is in the autolamps
position and you switch them on in the
information display:
•
Configurable daytime running lamps.
• Automatic high beam control.
• Adaptive headlamp control.
The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you switch the ignition off. Use the
information display controls to adjust the
period of time that the headlamps remain
on.
See Information Displays (page 112).
Note: With the headlamps in the autolamps
position, you cannot switch the high beam
headlamps on until the autolamps system
turns the headlamps on. Note:
If the lighting control switch is in the
autolamps position and the headlamps are
off, the parking lamps will light as signature
lighting. If the headlamps are on, or the
lighting control switch is in the parking lamps
position, the parking lamps will not light as
signature lighting.
Windshield Wiper Activated Headlamps
The windshield wiper activated headlamps
turn on within 10 seconds when you switch
the windshield wipers on and the lighting
control switch is in the autolamps position.
They will turn off approximately 60 seconds
after you switch the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps will not turn on by wiper
activation:
• During a mist wipe.
• When the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition.
• If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note: If you have autolamps and autowipers
switched on, the low beam headlamps will
turn on automatically when the windshield
wipers operate continuously.

The high beams will switch off if:
•
the system detects the headlamps of an
approaching vehicle or the tail lamps of
a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below 16 mph
(25 km/h)
• the ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required
• the system detects severe rain, snow or
fog
• the camera is blocked
Activating the System
Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps.
See Information
Displays (page 112). See Autolamps (page

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on. Note:
Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach comfort
in hot weather, drive with the windows
slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up
or until your vehicle airs out. Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary. The system automatically adjusts
to heat or cool the cabin to your selected
temperature as quickly as possible. For the
system to function efficiently, the instrument
panel and side air vents should be fully
open.
Note: If you select
AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs airflow to
the windshield and side window vents. In
addition, the fan may run at a slower speed
until the engine warms up.

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to changing
road conditions, especially when using
adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise
control cannot replace attentive driving.
Failing to follow any of the warnings below
or failing to pay attention to the road may
result in a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system. WARNINGS
Adaptive cruise control will not detect
stationary or slow moving vehicles
below 6 mph (10 km/h). Adaptive cruise control will not detect
pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
Adaptive cruise control will not detect
oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control
when entering or leaving a highway, in
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
slippery or unpaved. Do not use in poor visibility, specifically
fog, rain, spray or snow.
Note:
It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and control the vehicle at all
times.
The system adjusts your speed to maintain
a proper distance between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
can select from one of four gap settings. The controls for using your cruise control are
located on the steering wheel.
Switching the System On
Press and release
ON.

Recirculated air: Touch the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the button
illuminates and the air currently in the passenger compartment recircula\
tes. This may reduce the time needed to cool the interior
(when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your \
vehicle. Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or
be prevented from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the possibility of fogging.
D
MAX A/C:
Touch to switch on. The system distributes recirculated air through the i\
nstrument panel air vents, the air conditioning
automatically turns on, the driver and passenger temperatures are set to\
LO and the fan speed adjusts to the highest speed. This
re-cooling of the interior is more economical and efficient than normal \
A/C.
E
A/C:
Touch to turn air conditioning on or off. To improve air conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly
open for two to three minutes. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve \
cooling performance and efficiency. In certain conditions,
the air conditioning compressor may still operate even though the A/C bu\
tton is off.
F
AUTO:
Touch to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired temperatur\
e using the temperature control. The system
automatically adjusts fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and ou\
tside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain
the selected temperature.
G
Rear defrost:
Touch to switch the rear window defroster and heated mirrors (if equippe\
d) on or off.
H
MAX defrost:
Touch to clear the windshield of fog and thin ice. The driver and passenger temperatures set to HI, outside air
distributes through the windshield vents, the air conditioning automatic\
ally turns on and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest
speed. The heated rear window automatically turns on when you switch on \
MAX defrost and you will be unable to select recirculated
air (to prevent fogging).
